Brief Biography

Mohamed Orabi has over 17 years of professional experience in high-quality teaching at the college level. He served as a faculty member in several educational institutions such as Alexandria University, Arab Academy for Science and Technology, Pharos University in Alexandria, and Humboldt Universität zu Berlin in Germany. He has taught various physics, electrical engineering, and calculus courses. In September 2014, Orabi joined the American University of the Middle East in Kuwait as an assistant professor of physics. His general research field is condensed matter physics with an interest in multiple facets with hands-on experimental skills with ultra-high vacuum technology and advanced measurement and analytical techniques such as MBE, STM, LEED, and ARPES with synchrotron radiation.

Orabi is licensed as a professional electrical engineer in Egypt and a member of the German Physical Society [Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG)] and the International Association of Engineers (IANG). He served on several departmental and faculty committees, workshops, and scientific committees of international conferences.
